问题     Do your children lie to you and their friends about their activities online? Do they feel empty, depressed and irritable when not at the computer? Do they have problems with school or work, yet they always seem to feel energized again when they are at the computers surfing the internet? If you answered "yes" to one or even more of the above questions, your children are suffering from internet addiction. The amount of time kids spend online is a source of headaches for many parents. At first, parents welcomed the Internet into their homes, believing they were opening up an exciting new world of educational opportunities for their children. But soon, to their disappointment, instead of using the Internet for homework or research, their kids were spending hours instant chatting with friends, playing online games or even talking to strangers in chat rooms, which is posing real dangers to the children.
    Maintaining a healthy balance between entertainment media and other activities in children’s lives has always been a challenge for parents. The Internet has made this challenge even more difficult. The engaging nature of Internet communications and interactive games means many children and teens have trouble controlling the time they spent online.
    Unfortunately, parents and teachers do not realize that there is a problem until it becomes serious. To make it worse, Internet addiction is not widely recognized by the medical community. (Mental health practitioners continue to debate whether this behavior is an "addiction," with some preferring to identify it as "behavior control problems.
    Children and young people can easily become "hooked" on online activities such as multi-user games, instant messaging with their pals and chat rooms. The children most easily influenced, according to the Computer-Addiction Services at Harvard Medical School, are those who are "lonely and bored or from families where nobody is at home to relate to after school."
    Children who are unpopular or shy with peers are often attracted to the opportunities for creating new identities in online communities. Boys, in particular, are frequent users of online role-playing games, where they have new identities and interact with other players. Although playing these games with thousands of other users may appear to be a social activity, for the troubled child or teen, too much playing can further separate them from friends and peers.
Which one of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the activities children doing online that are giving parents headaches?

选项 A、Sending and receiving messages with their friends.
B、Causing dangers to the computers with viruses.
C、Chatting with people they don’t know in chat rooms.
D、Playing internet games with their computers.

答案B

解析 细节题;原文的首段就提出了家长发现孩子们日益陷入网络之中,他们从事的活动主要有“instant chatting with friends,playing online games or even talking to strangers in chat rooms”,对照选项,A、D和C这样的选项顺序是对原文信息的逐个改写,B选项貌似原文中提到的“posing real dangers to the children”这一个信息点,但是其主语却搞错了,原文是说“聊天室聊天会对孩子造成威胁”,而不是像选项中所说的那样“由于上网中病毒给电脑造成威胁”,该选项是在有意地曲解原文的意思。
